Somtimes life is not so good

the more you earn the less you would get

but what ever, your still entitled to child benefit when they get here, and for 2 kids that's about £132 a month.

thou not alot, but anything would help

good your earn that much, you shouldn't have a problem with getting a spouse visa when your time comes,if you can save about £2000 in your bank.

also remember you would need to pay for 2 settlement fees for your future wife and son, that's if you marry in the phils (about £1,000) now for both.

cost of flights, FLR/ILR and citizenship to, but you don't need to worry about that now

Yep we have a lot of debt though which is what is making it hard for me.

Flights - hopefully I have enough airmiles left to cut the cost a little as long as KLM stop devaluing them.

Yeah child benefit would help a little, to be honest Ana needs the stability of being at home and looking after the kids for a few years anyway I don't really want her out slaving away to send money back for the rest of the family just now.

I am starting to think that the marriage in the Phils is probably the best route after all.

i got married in the phils.
i've got 2 step kids,
one came over with the misses, no problem getting visa's
my stepson came over a 1 1/2yrs later on his own(17 1/2yrs old then), no problems getting him a visa, he was interviewed, etc.. hes back in the phils now at uni, but we need to get him here b4 april. or he will lose his ILR.

i think overall it would be easier and better if you got wed in the phils, as with the fiancée visa your intention is to wed within 6 months, but with a spouse visa you already made that commitment and are wed, especially as you have a daughter..
